What's made this guy angry?
In this week's programme we are talking about anger - that's the strong feeling you get when you think someone has treated you badly or unfairly.
New research has shown that our modern, fast-paced lifestyle is causing us to get angrier.
We expect things to be perfect and if they're not we stamp our feet like a child!
Rob and Jennifer discuss the things that really make us cross and explain some of the language to do with anger.
This week's question:
In a BBC survey, what was found to be the thing that made British people most annoyed? Was it:
a) Someone jumping the queue
b) Delays on public transport
c) Being kept on hold by a call centre
